I was doing some research for a friend who lost his Win2K administrator password. A Google search turned up a few hits of costly software to do the job. Here are the first few hits. (I found this forum post on Google, too.)

Are there any freewares out there? They all seem to have demo modes that don't do anything. This is one time use software. I found a few more on

http://www.davecentral.com/,

but none were free. I'll check

http://www.tucows.com/

next and some more of the Google hits.

Thanks.

I found a program that can change/reset passwords on WS. Perhaps this will help?

Be aware that you risk killing the box.

Is this on a server or pro machine? A lot of times, people don't even set passwords on w2k pro. Glen A. Johnson
